The Prophet ﷺ : Whoever sleeps while having a "ghamar" in his hand and does not wash it, if something befalls him, let him not blame anyone but himself.
What is the meaning of "ghamar"??
What is the meaning of "ghamar"??
In this hadith, “ghamar” refers to the greasy smell or residue left on the hands after eating, especially from meat or fatty foods.
The Prophet ﷺ was teaching cleanliness and hygiene, meaning a person should wash their hands properly before sleeping. Otherwise, leftover food smell or grease could attract insects or cause harm.
I got a message last month from a 29 year old athlete.
He had been clinically dead in an ambulance 4 weeks earlier. Full cardiac arrest. 100% blocked LAD. The widow maker.
Resuscitated. Stented. Survived.
His cholesterol was low. His Lp(a) was 10. Every marker the system trusts said he was perfectly healthy.
This thread is about what actually caused his heart attack. And 5 hidden killers in young, fit people that your doctor will never test for.

He eats wild caught fish he catches himself. Seasonal game he hunts. Grows his own food.
No alcohol. No drugs. No supplements. No processed food.
If he cannot hunt it or grow it, he does not eat it.
Look at him and you would never suspect a cardiac event was possible. His doctor would never suspect it either.
That is the problem.

His fasted lipid panel after the event.
Triglycerides: 47.
HDL: 101.
LDL: 118.
Lp(a): 10.
Trig to HDL ratio: 0.47.
Anything below 1.0 is world class metabolic health. He is at 0.47.
His doctor saw total cholesterol at 233 and reached for a statin.
The cholesterol paradigm had zero predictive power. Zero.

Last October he was shot five times here in Thailand.
I used to feed Bog Red Brendan in the jungle daily. He didn’t know what had happened to cause him so much pain.
Today he arrived at his new home… (1/7) 🧵

At first I didn’t even know he’d been shot. I fed him every day but it looked like a dog fight at first.

He was our first ever patient in Tina’s hospital and the vets got the bullets out.
He is a little wary of humans but his health quickly returned and we set out to find him a safe home (3/7)

A Market Wizard with 51 years in the game just did the math on your dream.
Out of 1,000 people who try to become traders, 2 or 3 make it.
He told the room anyway, then explained exactly how he became one of them.
Here are 7 takeaways from his talk ↓

The last generation that fought World War Two is disappearing.
But something else may be disappearing with them. The understanding of what they actually fought for.
Recent surveys suggest many young adults already struggle to place some of the most basic events of the war.
This is what's quietly happening to these memories..🧵1/7

There were once more than 16 million American veterans of World War Two.
They filled the factories and the parades, coached the baseball teams, taught in the schools, and ran for office.
For most of the last eighty years, if you wanted to know what the war was truly like, you could simply ask one. They were everywhere.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs projects that only around 31,000 are still alive. Fewer than one in 500 of those who served.
Soon, there will be nobody left who remembers the landing craft lowering their ramps toward the beaches, the bombers forming up by the hundreds in the cold morning sky, or the telegram arriving at the front door that a family had prayed would never come.
And we are not ready for what happens when the last of those voices falls silent.

World War Two is still taught in schools, and that matters.
But for many students, one of the largest and most consequential events in all of human history is compressed into a handful of pages near the back of a textbook.
Pearl Harbor. D-Day. Hiroshima. Victory.
A map with arrows. A list of dates to memorize for the examination, and then the class moves on to the next unit.
The problem is not that the facts are wrong.
The problem is that facts alone were never how this was meant to be remembered.
A textbook can tell you that around 2,400 Americans died at Pearl Harbor, or that the first wave at Omaha Beach suffered terrible casualties in the opening minutes.
What it cannot easily do is make you feel the weight of a single one of those men.
The nineteen-year-old who woke up that morning with no idea it was his last.
The friends who watched him go.
The facts can be printed on a page.
The human reality has to be handed down, person to person, and that chain is close to breaking.

@RevTChristopher These are good questions, but I think the answer varies according to state and district.
One key difference between Black Republicans and Black Democrats is that Black Republicans are still ambitious to serve the people, so they seek higher office, with chance of losing.

@RevTChristopher Black Democrats seem to like their set-aside safe seats, dying in office and leaving their constituents without representation.

1/ As someone who has been in a few murder trials let me just try to explain why the police always ask people not to speculate, (with the caveat that I understand everyone is justifiably angry, saddened and horrified).
Murder investigations and trials are very fragile things.
Murder investigations and trials are very fragile things.
2/ In a murder trial, every single move the police make is put under a microscope. Days and days can be spent on suggestions they were "playing to the media" or that they improperly provided a running commentary on an investigation for social media consumption. This matters.
3/ In criminal proceedings, evidence can be excluded under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 or common law if it's unfair to go before a jury. One way a defence team can make that argument is to argue release of evidence contaminated other evidence or ultimately the jury

Yes it's Americas fault that the Euro crisis happened, and that we made Brussels impose austerity rather than stimulus after 2008.

We also made you adopt Luddite energy policies, cause God knows if it's one thing Americans hate? It's oil and gas.
California easily has the most expensive electricity the country, yet would have the cheapest electric rates in the EU were it a member nation

What was the Kursk operation really like? You can find some information about it online, but details of how it started are rarely public.
So we want to tell you a story about Mykhailo, callsign Mi9, our hero from the 80th Assault Brigade. He was one of the first soldiers to cross the Ukrainian border and make history in Kursk.
So we want to tell you a story about Mykhailo, callsign Mi9, our hero from the 80th Assault Brigade. He was one of the first soldiers to cross the Ukrainian border and make history in Kursk.
He was born in Mykolaiv Oblast, but at the start of the full-scale invasion, he was serving a sentence in a correctional colony in Chernihiv Oblast… When Russian forces entered the area in February 2022, colony staff released the prisoners and allowed them to fight for Chernihiv.
Once those lands were liberated, the prisoners were told they still had to serve out their terms. Mykhailo says that's fair — you serve the punishment for what you did. So he returned without complaint.
While still in prison, he read about how the 80th Brigade was liberating his hometown in Mykolaiv Oblast. When Mykhailo was finally released in 2023, he went straight to the recruitment office and asked specifically for the 80th Brigade. They took him without hesitation.
